The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family looked in their element as they celebrated with the happy couple at Windsor Castle.

But according to a report it was a very different story shortly afterwards, and the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex faced disappointment when the Monarch rejected a request they made about their home.

According to the Sunday Times , the couple asked the Queen if they could live at Windsor Castle.

The report, written by Rosa Nikkah states: "The couple are understood to have set their hearts at first on Windsor Castle, and are believed to have asked the Queen if living quarters could be made available after their marriage."

But Harry's granny said no and gave them Frogmore Cottage instead, which they have since spent an astounding £2.4million of taxpayers' money refurbishing.

Hugo Vickers told the Express why the Queen may have decided to deny their request, saying it might not have been "entirely appropriate".

He writes: "There are empty bedrooms and suites in the private apartments within Windsor Castle which the Sussexes may have had their eye on, or perhaps some former living quarters in the castle grounds converted into other things.

"But I can see how it might not be entirely appropriate to have a young family living there."

Speaking before the move Ken Wharfe, former royal protection officer to Princess of Wales and the royal family, said: "The costs of building and security arrangements could even balloon to £5million in the first year.

"There will have to be major reviews of the security surrounding that property because it is exposed on virtually every side.

"Whatever happens it will be a dramatic rise to the taxpayer which could have been avoided had they decided to stay at Kensington Palace."
